About the Book
*Mastering Taproot* is the first comprehensive developer’s guide to Bitcoin's most powerful upgrade — Taproot.
This book walks you through the foundations of Bitcoin Script, address formats, and transaction construction, before diving into real-world Taproot programming techniques.
Written by Aaron Zhang — a former venture capitalist turned Bitcoin infrastructure builder — this book emphasizes code, testnet verification, and practical engineering. From single-leaf script spends to multi-path Merkle tree constructions, you’ll learn how Taproot scripts work from the ground up, with executable examples.
Whether you're building wallets, tools, contracts, or simply want to understand Bitcoin on-chain at a deeper level, this book is for you.
🎁 This book is now free to download.
I believe in open access to foundational Bitcoin knowledge, and I want to give back to the developer community.
💡 The suggested price is $29, which supports ongoing research and future updates.
Pay if you can — learn if you must.
